NO MOW MAY: Village of Mamaroneck
NO MOW MAY: Village of Mamaroneck
The Issue
What is NO MOW MAY? Simply do NOT mow your lawn for the month of May. It's that simple!
Why? Your lawn will provide early pollinators with habitat and a place to forage for food. Dandelions, clovers, and violets are good nectar sources.
What else can I do? Do not use any pesticides, chemicals, or sprays. All types of sprays kill beneficial pollinators and their larvae. If you want to see more ladybugs and fireflies in your yard, don't spray anything!
Why are pollinators important? One out of three bites of food are dependent on pollination. Thank a pollinator for coffee, blueberries, watermelon and 1,000 more foods globally.
Who are pollinators? Hummingbirds, bats, beetles, bees, ants, wasps, butterflies, and other small animals. They move pollen from flower to flower, causing fertilization.
SIGN UP AS A VIRTUAL COMMITMENT to the NO MOW MAY movement. Pass it on to your neighbors! BEE sure to read this too
